I'm 24, I have had acne since I was 11. I've tried topical, pills, proactiv, no!
Question: I've been to dermatologists, I've tried topical ointments, prescribed soaps, internal medicine, erythromycin, topical creams with steroids, etc..I've pretty much tried everything.the only thing that seems to help is when I shave the hair off my body.it's like the acne only comes up around the hair follicles.like I'm allergic to my own hair or something. I was okay with acne, it's just that now, I have one in the middle of my lower back that is like an open gaping wound, and it always leaks fluid.any suggestions? PLEASE HELP!?!?

Ask your dermatologist to prescribe Acutane and start drinking more water. You would be surprised what water and sleep can do for your complexion.
Good luck
Sea Breeze products are working pretty good. There's also a dietary supplement called Accuzine. It's pretty pricey, but after a few months on it, my daughter has seen significant improvement. Changing cleansers every now and then seems to help also for some reason. Good Luck

Please speak with your family doctor, and ask about Tetracycline medicine, it is wonderful for helping with the problem which you are suffering.
The medicine which I speak of can only be given to you by your physician through a prescription, follow his advice.
if that does not help you, I suggest that you continue to work with your doctor, and let him know that this problem is very serious to you, and that you will not go away until the issue is resolved.
sounds like you need a better dermatologist, i had horrible break out when i was younger, and a dermatologist put me on some pills, and did some kind of exray treatments, that helped immensly, then also my sister started me on clinque products, some people are allergic to diffent soaps and things that really add to the problem. clinque products helped me a great deal too.
Has your dermatologist done a scraping or biopsy of one of your pimples? It could be folliculitis (infection of the follicles). It is similar to the "beard rash" some men get after shaving their face. Do you go into jacuzzis often, or talk on the phone by cradling the receiver with your shoulder? By doing a biopsy, they can tell what the pimple is really made of.

My own experience :)
There are pills at Vitamin World (If you don't have one, check out other vitamin stores) called anti-acne.. simple as that. I've done everything short of blue light therapy and nothing has ever worked but these. You chew them and they're chalky but no taste and it's 4 a day so one box lasts 4 weeks. It's only 5 bucks here so it's a whole lot cheaper then the stuff on TV and it does work. If you can't find them, e-mail me and I'll check to see if the one here does online orders. It's worth it.
I'm 22 now, and I had acne from 13 to 21.
Try the Clear Skin Regimen by Acne.org, I set a goal of three months for myself last April and stuck with it, after a month my skin was completely clear, and since I set a goal farther away it was easier to achieve, as I didn't have my hopes up for a quick fix.
